Why rent when you could buy in Laughton

Imagine the financial freedom you'd enjoy if you paid for just 75 per cent of a property but you owned it entirely. You could build up a substantial bank of savings, take that exotic holiday you've always wanted or treat yourself to the car of your dreams.

At the Bridleways development at Laughton Common, it's possible to turn this dream into a reality as selected homes, including the three bedroom Chelsea at plot 66, are currently available with Persimmon's Helping Hand shared equity scheme - you don't even need to pay the five per cent deposit.

Ideal for those on lower incomes and for the growing number of people wanting to buy on their own, Helping Hand shared equity is an ideal option for many buyers as it means they are able to buy a home without having the cost of the whole mortgage - in this case, 100 per cent of the property for 75 per cent of the price*.

Lawrence McGeehan, sales director for Persimmon Homes South Yorkshire region, said: "Many people may be living in rental accommodation, wrongly assuming they can't afford a home of their own. However, if your annual income is no less than £20,000 which equates to £385 per week, it may surprise you to learn that the three bedroom three storey Chelsea at plot 66 could be within your financial reach."

With Persimmon's offer of Helping Hand shared equity, the Chelsea at plot 65 is currently priced at just £26,750 (normally priced at £168,999).

Bridleways is situated on the Worksop Road. Nestling amongst Rotherham and Sheffield and Worksop and close to the popular town of Dinnington, the development is ideally placed for access to the M1 and M18 and is welcome news for professionals who are looking for a base from which to commute across the region.
